Microarrays are a high-throughput screening system with the ability to assay large amounts of biological material on a small 2d surface, usually a glass slide. There are many types of microarrays including nucleic acid, protein, tissue arrays and more. The throughput capabilities of microarrays along with their small size make them an exciting technology within biological research. DNA microarrays for example have proven very useful in disease research, allowing for the interactions of hundreds to thousands of genes to be documented at one time. This produces a gene expression profile of whole cells. Microarrays can be produced in house or custom ordered from commercial production facilities. When designing microarrays keep in mind not only the species and genomic application of interest but also the format of the array.
qPCR might be the gold standard, but dPCR use is increasing.
